High heels and short skirts; It's simple but it works    The neon is flickering   "Even sharks learn to swim"   Her parents coundn't care less   Her mother's not holding her breath   Her windpipe's a twisted mess   With more hangups than Picasso.      She's growing older [on the] coldest shoulder      Oh, and if anybody asks you, you never saw her   Such a disappointing and lovely daughter      Free drinks at art shows   She's 15 but looks older   Don't bother with that small talk   She's heard it all before    From doctors and principals   She's always been difficult   The neon is flickering   "Welcome to the Rest Of Your Life Hotel"      It's too bad that tonight the beautiful dance alone
